We have an interesting rumor to pass your way. This comes from @FightOracle, which is an account that has broken some pro-wrestling stories in the past. This includes being the first to report CM Punk returning to ‘WWE Backstage’.
The account claims WWE only announced that Wrestlemania 36 will be taking place at the Performance Center in Orlando for insurance reasons. If the city of Orlando forces them to shut the event down, they will have satisfied the requirements of their insurance policy and will look to move the event elsewhere.
The account claims that June 7th is the current target if Orlando shuts down the event on April 5th. Here is what the account Tweeted:
**HUGE WRESTLEMANIA RUMOR**
>WrestleMania will NOT happen from the PC in Orlando. Why?
>WWE’s insurance policy says they have a duty to mitigate damages (in this case that means finding a new venue)
>WWE announced WrestleMania as the new venue w/intent to satisfy that requirement>the thought is the City of Orlando will shut down the WrestleMania event from the PC
>at this point, WWE will have shown they tried their best to move the event (mitigate damages) and they’d get paid by their insurer
>WWE will look to stage WrestleMania June 7. MSG is targeted*Meant WWE announced the PC as the new WrestleMania venue w/intent to satisfy that requirement of the insurance policy.
>Of course everything is fluid. Everything at this point is a rumor until Kennedy McMahon makes the call.
>it just doesn’t make sense to run WM from the PC. Just part of the insurance claim process
It should be noted that this account is formerly known as Front Row Brian and has nailed some MMA and pro-wrestling stories in the past. Take with a grain of salt for now but this is definitely something that I felt was worth passing along.
